More Piccies to Share

Have spent most of this morning working out how to operate this blog. Still not sure that I have managed to work it out properly. Not sure if people are able to comment yet but I guess I will find that out sooner or later.

Thought I would share some more photos from Christmas today. Like I said earlier it seems like we celebrated Christmas over a three day period as Sarah and Colin had a few days with us on the way to Mackay to have Christmas with his parents. They loved their Christmas present (a new camera)and Sarah has already told me that she has used it plenty over the Christmas break. Can't wait to see her photos. She has just started scrapbooking in the last 6 months, so really wanted a camera so that she could make sure she had an endless supply of photos to scrapbook.

Colin's sister Brenda was also here so we had a roast Christmas dinner on the Saturday night together and then had a game of Scene It. Sarah and Colin won, Steve and Chloe came second and Brenda and I came a dismal last. I'm afraid we did't know too much movie trivia. It was a fun night though.

Christmas Day was spent at our friends the Brays out at Emerald. My sister and her families also joined us as well as some of Karen B's family so in total 23 of us sat down to Christmas lunch. Everyone then joined in for a came of Cricket and out door activities on their front lawn. (They live 10km out of town on 40 acres. It was quiet and peaceful and just the perfect place to be to unwind and relax. Pete and Karen are just wonderful people and we really enjoyed our time with them. So generous and kindhearted and they went out of their way to make us feel very welcome and very special. Love you guys to bits.

Karen's children got lots of Lego and her five year old son Harrison coaxed our Pete into helping him build his airport. I am sure Pete enjoyed every minute of it and I bet it bought back lots of memories for him as he his loved Lego when he was a kid. Well suddenly, Peter became Harry's best friend and he followed him everywhere for the next couple of days. He is a real cutie though. We also managed to catch up with Steve's Uncle and Aunt and a few of his cousins who also live in Emerald. We haven't seem them for ages so it was nice getting together and chatting up with each other again.

Pete has been busy catching up with mates, as it is nearly 12 months since he has been home. There are a group of guys coming over this evening to have an X-Box challenge. You would not recognize my lounge and dining room at the moment as they have a data projector set up and a couple of X-Boxes networked so 8-10 players can all get together and shoot each other. (Sounds thrilling doesn't it) I plan to escape and go scrapbook with Ali (looking forward to that as we haven't had a chance to do that in a while, and Ali is so motivated at the moment and scrapping some amazing LO's. Am hoping that it will rub off on me. Meanwhile her husband Glen is coming around here to shoot it up with all the fellows.

Well had best go and do a bit of work around this place.
